Attorney General Pam Bondi repeatedly clashed with Justice Department ethical guidelines regarding the acceptance of gifts while on the job, The New Yorker reported Monday.

According to the magazine, Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Justice Department brushed up against ethics watchdogs within the agency on a number of issues including a gift of cigars from MMA fighter and political hopeful Conor McGregor. A FIFA soccer ball tossed to her by the president was also among the gifts Bondi argued she should be allowed to keep, according to The New Yorker, which cited a source within the agency as describing an unequal level of pushback from Bondi on the issue compared to her predecessors.

‘Wasn’t normal’: White House officials shocked as Pam Bondi battles to keep lavish gifts

Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly tangled with ethics officials over lavish gifts, including a dispute over box seats at the FIFA Club World Cup finals, The New Yorker reported Monday.

“Every new administration needs time to adjust to ethics rules that might seem trivial,” said a source described by The New Yorker as someone “familiar with the discussions.” “What wasn’t normal was the amount of pushback that we got.”

According to the source, Bondi had feuded with ethics officials over several gifts, one being a FIFA soccer ball handed to the nation’s top law enforcement officer after a meeting. Another instance involved Bondi wanting to keep a box of cigars gifted to her from Conor McGregor, the Irish professional mixed martial artist.
